It is self-evident to have access to online media and communication platforms. The internet helps to keep in touch with our loved ones. A huge amount of entertainment relies on internet access. The internet is highly integrated in our every-day life. Furthermore, it is a growing economy. There are not only the online services like social media or online warehouses which are going to expand their business in the future. The communication technologies, which the internet is built upon, are a growing and innovative market, too. Besides consumers, the \ac{B2B} market is a huge driver of innovation. It must be expected, that more devices get interconnected. This is a challenge because physical resources are limited. Nevertheless, it is a great possibility for the communication technology to advance. The technologies, which are able to cope with the new requirementes, are digital. This where the course on \emph{Digital Communication Systems} starts. You are warmly welcomed! \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{History of Communications} @@ -22,9 +24,21 @@ Transferring information became more important as societies advanced. \item In the 18th century, semaphore lines had been built.

Electrical telegraphy speeded up telecommunication. At the end of the 19th century, electromagnetic waves have been discovered. James Clerk Maxwell postulated them in 1865. Heinrich Hertz produced the first electromagnetic waves in 1887. The potential had soon been acknowledged by inventors, who developed first radios. The era of analogue radio communication began.
